Another one from Buttler and this time it was on the legs of Buttler and he just helps that on its way to the fine-leg boundary. MI's score reads 64/0

22:13(IST)

Bludgeoned this one did Buttler. Deceived by the slower ball, Buttler waits on and then hammers that past mid-on. He is dealing in boundaries. MI's score reads 60/0

22:12(IST)

Beautiful placement from Parthiv as he hits that over the head of the wicket-keeper and into the third-man boundary. That was classy as he gets four runs. Welcomes Mohit with a boundary as MI's score reads 55/0

22:09(IST)

A slower on Parthiv's toes and he will not miss these. Places it for a boundary as MI bring up their 50 in the 4th over. Good start for Mumbai Indians.
